How to Fix Your Broken Dream Leg (5/27/98)
In an alliance that makes Lucifer himself smile, Sega and Microsoft have gotten together to produce the successor to the Sega Saturn.The "DreamCast", as its called, will use Windows CE as its operating system, making ports of crappy twenty buck PC games quick and easy. Dreamcast features advanced graphics, three-dimensional sound, four controller ports, and the doofiest name and logo since the Sony Playstation.
In what may very well be yet another failed attempt to force set-top boxes down the throats of couch potato America, the Dreamcast will feature a modem for Internet access and gaming.
The first game announced for the system is Warp's "D2", the sequel to "D", a game remembered rather fondly by the 22 people that played it.
Dreamcast (c.f. "Saturn") will be released in the United States late next year, where it will likely compete with Project X (c.f. "CD-I"), and possible new systems from Sony (c.f. "Turbografx-16") and Nintendo (c.f. "Virtual Boy") TMC Newsbreak predicts that the next generation video game wars will be won, as always, by the Game Boy, the system that proved that the average American consumer doesn't know a damn thing.
